Not all programmers build WordPress plugins.

Some programmers write software for aircraft. The "ship it now" maxim doesn't exist in that context.



No one is writing aircraft software in Haskell. They need good control over memory usage.

That isn't a counter-example unless you're taking his post literally. In which case I claim that Python is a system programming language because one time somebody somewhere wrote a driver in it.
